The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has uncovered critical details about planetary system formation by detecting a dense concentration of dust grains outside the orbits of two known planets in the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star PDS 70. These findings, led by Kiyoaki Doi, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and former Ph.D. student at the Nat Planet-forming discs persist longer in early Universe environments

New findings from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope challenge our understanding of planet formation by confirming a longstanding puzzle initially uncovered by the Hubble Space Telescope over two decades ago. The discovery highlights that planet-forming discs persisted far longer in the Universe's early days, even in conditions once deemed inhospitable for planet growth.
In 2003, SpaceX scrubs launch from Florida, but one lifts off from California

One of two scheduled Falcon 9 rocket launches lifted off early Saturday with one going up in California but aborted in Florida.
The launch of four Astranis satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station originally was scheduled for about midnight Friday, with backup opportunities until 2:28 a.m. But just as the rocket's nine engines fired, SpaceX officials announced that it would be Vast and SpaceX to launch two human spaceflight missions to ISS

Vast has announced an agreement with SpaceX to conduct two human spaceflight missions to the International Space Station (ISS) using SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft. The missions, dependent on NASA's selection of Vast for private astronaut missions (PAM), will mark the fifth and sixth PAMs ever awarded by NASA, further positioning Vast as a key player in commercial space explorati China's CERES 1 rocket launches satellites from sea

Galactic Energy, a Beijing-based private rocket manufacturer, successfully conducted its fourth sea-based launch of the Ceres 1 carrier rocket on Thursday.
According to the company, the rocket lifted off at 6:18 pm from a mobile launch platform in the Yellow Sea near Shandong province. The mission placed four satellites into a low-Earth orbit approximately 850 kilometers above the Earth. NASA payload to study the effects of Lunar dust on mission equipment

The Moon's surface is coated in a gritty layer known as lunar regolith, composed of gravel, pebbles, and fine dust. Astronauts during the Apollo missions discovered that this fine, powdery dust - electromagnetically charged due to solar and cosmic radiation - clings stubbornly to surfaces, including gloves, boots, and spacecraft, and is highly abrasive. This poses a significant challenge for NAS SpaceX launches second mid-inclination rideshare mission

ESA and NASA deliver first joint picture of Greenland Ice Sheet melting
Friday, 20 December 2024 13:01 Write a comment
Global warming is driving the rapid melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet, contributing to global sea level rise and disrupting weather patterns worldwide. Because of this, precise measurements of its changing shape are of critical importance for adapting to climate change.
Now, scientists have delivered the first measurements of the Greenland Ice Sheet’s changing shape using data from ESA's CryoSat and NASA's ICESat-2 ice missions.
